With so many Christmas beers out on the shelves today, it’s difficult to say which one is worth your time, let alone calling one “the best”. Yet, Joey Redner from the St. Petersburg Times has put out a list of his “10 Best Christmas Beers”. You can view the article here but I’ve put down the list below.

10. Delirium Noel

9. Penn St. Nicholas Bock

8. Scaldis Noel

7. Lump of Coal

6. Santa’s Butt Porter

5. De Dolle Stille Nacht

4. Samichlaus

3. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

2. Avery Old Jubilation

1. Anchor Our Special Ale

Out of all the beers on his list, I have only tried Scaldis Noel and Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale (from last year, not this year’s brew). I personally would’ve rated Scaldis Noel much higher but hey, it’s not my list. Joey goes on to give brief descriptions and costs on his original article so I’d recommend you check that out to make sure the flavor is what you’re looking for before purchasing.

I’ve long since given up on rating a beer because my taste buds are much different than all of yours. If anything, I’d love it if what I wrote inspired you to purchase the beer for yourself to drink and come to your own conclusions, then we can have a more meaningful discussion. In any event, what are your favorite Christmas beers? Leave me a comment or shoot me an email at betterbeerblog at gmail dot com.
